The Whatever-Star was also an inspiration for the planned Rakudo Star release. Because we know that release won’t be a complete implementation of Perl 6, we didn’t want to call it “1.0”. But other release numbers and tags also presented their own points of confusion. Finally it was decided to call it “Rakudo Whatever”, which then became “Rakudo Star”. (Our detailed plans for Rakudo Star are kept the Rakudo repository.)
